Optimus Prime Papercraft

Recently I’ve been
looking to buy a new Transformers toy, more specifically an Optimus Prime. Optimus isn’t just a good guy, but he’s also the
biggest and baddest hero you can find.
This makes him really popular and a toy that many people want to have in
their collection. Unfortunately his
popularity also makes his toy really expensive and hard to find. My local toy store had the 25th
anniversary collection version but it was so expensive I decided to look around
for a better price.

While I was still looking for an Optimus Prime, I decided to do a papercraft version of him. This papercraft version of Optimus Prime
comes in color, takes up about two pages for the template and one for
instructions, and uses rubber or string to attach it all together. While the actual template might seem a little
armature at first, when you are done you will notice how professional it really
is and how special this papercraft is compared to others. What makes it stand out from the rest is that
since it is a Transformer, it actually transforms from robot to truck; how cool
is that! This papercraft took me about a
couple of days to finish, and I would really recommend it to anyone that loves
transformers and wants to have their own Optimus Prime in paper.
